Budget Information

Today, we released the latest district impact projections under
different budget scenarios. As I've written before, the May Revise
provided some better news, although it relies on the balanced approach
of tax extensions that still requires a two-thirds vote. And, even if
the balanced approach is adopted, we are still estimating that 148,000 students will be cut from community colleges across California.
In an all-cuts scenario, we now project 241,500 students will lose a
spot in community college--better than 400,000, but still an educational
and economic travesty.
